The family tomb as a physical claim to the patrimony, the
attributed powers of the dead and the prospect of post-mortem
veneration made the cult of the dead an integral aspect of the
Judahite and Israelite society. Over 850 burials from throughout
the southern Levant are examined to illustrate the Judahite form of
burial and its development. Vessels for foods and liquids were of
paramount importance in the afterlife, followed by jewellery with
its protective powers. The cult of the dead began to be an
unacceptable feature of the Jerusalem Yahwistic cult in the late
eighth to seventh century BCE. This change of attitude was
precipitated by the fall of the northern kingdom of Israel and the
consequent theological response.
